Great find. No idea how accurate the uniforms are, but looks pretty cool none-the-less.

For as far as I can see the unifroms are pretty bad really but in all it's very entertaining!

Cheers,

Delightful! The uniforms weren't that bad, and to me gave the flavor of the era. I am guessing the Highlanders were supposed to be the 93rd, but they did not wear the red doublet. All in all I enjoyed it and it makes me want to get back on my two Indian Mutiny armies? Must stay focused, but it's not always easy!!!

Great book on he subject is "They Fight Like devils".

Fascinating! The Highlanders appear to be wearing guards type bearskins, and the pith helmets are a later pattern, but it looks like they had army blokes in the roles of Mutineers and relief force soldiers. Thanks for sharing.
